Another commenter was correct, the plan is to launch a satellite with rocket booster to take the payload from several tens of thousands of feet to orbit. A job at SpinLaunch appeared on my LinkedIn feed, to work on the centrifuge (superconducting bearings, was why it appeared in my feed); after looking into it a bit…
